Lichfield
Lichfield has more to offer than just a Cathedral.
It had 'City' status granted in 1553.
Images on this page include: Lichfield Brewery, Lichfield City Station, Saint John the Baptist Hospital.
I have visited Lichfield on many occasions over the years, but have never really stopped to look around. I planned my first visit of this particular year (2018) a week or so before travelling, compiling a list of the places I wanted to visit, I thought that I'd have plenty of time to take in all the sites in one day - how wrong was I? A couple of weeks later I decided to visit again to take in all the sites that I'd missed first time, so off I went with my list - and guess what? I will return one day to see the sites that I missed on the first and second visits.
